When I run a video player like mplayer or xine, it segfaults immediately. The problem looks to be in the /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1 library. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.mplayer 1.xine Actual Results: $ mplayer Segmentation fault $ Expected Results: mplayer (gdb) bt #0 0xb6e9231a in _nv000000gl () from /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1 #1 0xb7958bb5 in ??

it seems like the problem can be fixed with the command ln -s /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.7167 /usr/lib/tls/libnvidi a-tls.so.1 the link in that location was pointing to an older version of the library, and I guess it wasnt updated properly or something.
Please try nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r2
I have not been able to reproduce the error I was having (since I fixed the symlink problem). I did mess around a bit with the symlinks though before I emerged the r2 of nvidia-glx, and they seemed to get fixed when the merging completed.
ok, then I'm closing this. If it becomes a problem again, let me know, but I'm fairly certain bug #90047 has gotten this fixed as it's probably related.
